Professional Basement Finishing for Herriman, Utah
Most Utah homes have a basement. Your unfinished basement is a great opportunity to maximize your home’s value and functionality. Our Herriman clients count on us for a variety of basement finishing services. Some of the most common are creating income-generating apartments, game rooms, gyms, and small accessory kitchens.
We’ll meet with you to review your wants, needs, and budget and find the best balance between these three items to maximize your enjoyment of your basement.
Services we Offer
Basement Finishing Budget
A common concern with homeowners in Herriman, Utah, is the cost of finishing a basement. Often, there are creative ways to get the finishes you want without going over budget. Recently, a homeowner in Herriman showed us a picture of a wet bar from Pinterest. Matching the picture without creative thought would have cost the client over $10,000. With a few minor changes and a little creative thought, we brought the cost down to $5100. The look and functionality of the wet bar were the same. We adjusted the materials and finishes slightly to use more economical processes and save the clients a lot of money.
Herriman Basement Remodeling
When you purchase a previously owned home, the previous owners may have finished the basement. If the job was done poorly, you may consider a remodel to improve your new basement’s safety, functionality, and aesthetics.
We will work with you during our initial consultation to determine the scope of work needed to transform your basement into a basement you’ll love. Other than the minimal demolition cost, the cost to remodel a basement is very similar to a standard basement finish, which is typically $35 to $45 per square foot, depending on the features and finishes you choose.
Together, we can craft a scope of work and design that revitalizes your basement and aligns it more with your needs. You’ll also have the peace of mind of knowing that your basement is safe and that all the processes passed city inspections and were completed by licensed professionals.
Ideas to consider for your Herriman Utah basement finish
In Herriman, a family-centered lifestyle is common. Finishing your basement can add significantly to the overall enjoyment of your home. It is also an excellent way to create a versatile space that can be tailored to your family’s needs. The options available can transform your basement into a space that enhances your home’s value and family life.
- Family Rooms: this is often the largest room in the house. I can be a great place to gather for watching sporting events, play games together, or as a “hang-out” spot for your children and their friends.
- Game Rooms: In addition to traditional options like a pool table or ping-pong, you can also utilize this space for modern gaming. A big-screen TV and a comfortable couch are great options for a co-op match on the computer or Xbox. You can also set it up so that there is room for traditional board games to enjoy in a comfortable environment.
- Home Gyms: Traditional gym memberships are expensive and becoming increasingly challenging to navigate, especially if you’re not in top physical shape. Take the pressure off and enjoy all the benefits of exercise with a home gym. They’re surprisingly affordable, don’t take up too much space, and can be personalized to your liking. This practical and convenient option can help you stay fit without leaving the comfort of your home.
- Guest Bedrooms: If you have a family that lives out of town, think how often they would visit if they had a great place to stay that didn’t cost them anything. More frequent and longer stays would be nice for you and your extended family. If done correctly, you can utilize this space for additional purposes when your family is not in town.
Finishing your basement has many additional benefits. Each one will help you get more enjoyment out of your home and increase its value. This is the ultimate win-win for you and your family.

The Basement Finishing Process
Most basement finishes take 10-12 weeks to complete. Basements with unique features like kitchens or extensive structural re-working with beams will increase completion time. Each phase of the finishing process is essential to a successful outcome.
Step 1: Initial consultation and bid. During our initial meeting, we will review your basement design plans and offer suggestions for features that will help you keep pricing in a moderate range. Often, we have clients who have a very tight budget but want upgrade features such as extensive tile work, built-in cabinets, and large kitchens. We’ll review the costs of these items and offer functional alternatives for you to consider.
Our bid will be detailed and accurate. Our philosophy is to provide every detail that we can think of for your basement finish. The more detail you have, the more informed you will be based on your wants, needs, and budget.
Step 2: Drawings and permitting. We will complete a detailed technical drawing of each basement for your approval. This, along with the bid, gives us a detailed scope of work that directs our efforts on your basement finishing project.
Each basement we complete is also permitted. The city requires this inexpensive option for your safety and the safety of future owners of your home. The inspection process ensures that the primary components of your basement are safe and built correctly, which is an excellent assurance for you that your basement finish is safe.
Step 3: Construction—Most Basement Finishes in Eagle Mountain take 10-12 weeks to complete. We have developed a system that helps us be consistent and ensures quality craftsmanship. At specific milestones in the project, we will do a walkthrough with you to ensure your expectations are met. We will communicate schedules and processes to keep you informed throughout the building process. Our goal is to make this process as simple and hassle-free as possible.
Step 4: Final inspection and completion- Once the basement has been completed and passed final inspection, we don’t consider the project finished. We will do a final walkthrough with you to identify any small items that need to be completed, and we will ensure these are done to your satisfaction within 5 business days.

This is our first home and we needed a little extra space. We considered the basement but had heard that finishing was too expensive right now. We gave Utah Basement Finishers a call and the price was right. The family room and extra space in the basement are just what we needed.
